Involvement Opportunities 

Dinners for 12 Strangers 
Host dinner for students and a faculty member from Urban Planning.  On February 21, February 27 and March 7, 1999, the School will participate in Dinners for 12 Strangers, sponsored by the UCLA Alumni Association, to bring together School alumni, students, and faculty in an informal, fun setting. 

Alumni Advocacy 
Join Bruin Caucus and become a UCLA advocate by volunteering to participate in the political process – meeting legislators, writing letters, attending informational events and bolstering support for higher education. 

Student Support 
Volunteer to support current students and help communicate the value of their degree.  We need speakers for career events, advocates for student recruitment efforts and internship opportunities.   

The UCLA Alumni Network Database 
Urban Planning alumni are invited to volunteer to provide information about their professions and jobs to students and alumni via the UCLA Alumni Network Database.  The network, run by the UCLA Alumni Association, contains business information for 4,000 alumni volunteers.  UCLA students and members of the UCLA Alumni Association can access the database from the Web.  Interested students and alumni browse a list of volunteers’ firms and positions, then obtain names and phone numbers directly from the UCLA Alumni Association.
